How inmates receive mail and reply without address

Delivery time:

• Letters sent through InmateAid usually arrive at the facility in 2–3 business days
• After that, mail is opened, inspected, and sorted
• Delivery to the inmate typically takes another 1–5 days

So most inmates receive your letter within 3–7 days total, depending on the facility.

What the inmate sees:

• Your name appears on the letter
• Your home address is NOT shown unless you include it yourself

How they know how to write back:

• The letter includes the InmateAid return address
• They can write back to that address just like regular mail

How replies work:

• The inmate sends the letter to InmateAid
• It is scanned and uploaded to your account
• You get notified when it is ready

Important options:

• If you want them to write directly to your home, you must include your address in the letter
• If you want privacy, just let them use the InmateAid response system

Bottom line:
Your letter gets there within a few days, and yes, they are given everything they need to write you back even without your home address.
